lic Church in the United Mates. It

Another Victim to the Rail.
As a party of young men were walking
along the Lehigh Valley Railroad near
Port Blanchard, on Sunday, they came
upon the hody of a man lying in the
ditch by the side of the road. Both legs
were broken their being also a deep gash
on the side of his head. Not being able
to identify the remains they were allow
ed to remain there until the arrival of
Coroner Pier. The latter identified
them as those of Thomas Curry, of
Avoca. He had been stricken down
with a severe illness some time ago
which so unsettled his mind that he was
unable to take care of himself. He was
taken to the Ransom poor house for
treatment but escaped several weeks ago
and has since been at large.
Poor District Conventions.
The Republicans of the Luzerne por
tion of the Middle Coal Field Poor Dis
trict met at Hazleton on Tuesday and
nominated, by acclamation, A. S. Monroe
of Hazleton for poor director and T. 11.
Williams of Beaver Meadow for auditor.
Immediately after the nominations for
director and auditor were made the con
vention took lip the election of a delegate
to the state convention. The names of
C. W. Kline, G. 11. Troutman and Harry
E. Sweeny were proposed. Mr. Trout
man requested that bis name be with
drawn which was done. The conven
tion then proceeded to ballot with the
result of Mr. Sweeny's election by a vote
of 21 to 13.
A series of resolutions were read and
agreed to except the one endorsing the
course of General Osborne and request
ing the delegate to vote for him. Mr.
Sweeny the delegate stated that he was
not pledged to any candidate for gov
ernor.
There being no further business the
convention adjourned sine die.
Y'esterday was the day set apart for
the nomination of a candidate for poor
director and auditor by the Democratic
conferees of the district. Hugh O'Don
nell of Hazleton having received a ma
jority of delegates at the convention on
Monday, the privilege of selecting his
own conferees was given him, and, as a
matter of precedent, all that remained
were to have the whole of the conferees
meet and endorse his nomination, but
the result was otherwise.
Yesterday the conferees met and it
was evident that those from Carbon
County intended to vent their spleen on
some one and the result was that instead
of following an old custom they made a
new departure and took up a man who
only received one vote from the dele
gates on Monday at Hazleton. The ac
tion of the representatives from Carbon
could be construed to mean but one
thing—the defeat of the Democratic
nominee for poor director, no matter
who he might be.
We always thougt that Foster town
ship had statesmen that could maneuver
a convention but now we raise our hat
in deference to Carbon's heavy weight.
Mr. Hugh O'Donnell is in the'field and
will he endorsed by the Freeland Bor
ough Democratic convention which meets
on Saturday evening and from what we
know of old Foster, the home of his
birth, it will also fall in line.
EC K LEY.
The Eckley cornet hand are getting a
hall built for their own use, so as to not
use the school buildings.
Two of our young men tookanukt
trip to Jeddo last Sunday night and from
their appearance seemed to have had a
good time.
It is pleasing to note the many visitors
that were in attendance at the fair on
Saturday evening and every person
seemed to enjoy themselves. It reflects
great credit on the management for the
courtesy of their ushers, for the success
of the fair is in a great measure due to
them, who, bv their genteel and pleas
ing ways seem to entertain everybody.
During the evening there was a cake
walk, which was led by Neal Ward of
Freeland and Miss Marv Boyle of Maha
noy Citv, and won by Charles Harvey
and Ella Campbell of Eckley. Manns
McLaughlin, Alex. Yannauker and Pat
rick O'Donnell acted as judges.
John McMenamin and wife of High
land were present, also Miss Thompson.
William Soloman from the Scales was
the jolliest man at the fair. The Scale i
boys attend pretty regularly and seem
to enjoy it. What is the matter with
tall Sycamore his absence is noticed.
Gome again Dave.
Sandy Run furnished a large contin
gent to the fair last Saturday night. All
are to be complimented for their good
attendance.
Among those present from Freeland
were William Tiinony and wife, Susie
O'Donnell, Fannie Doris and Madge
Boner, with a number of other ladies
and gentlemen.
Neal Ward seems to have some attrac
tion over here. No flies on Neal.
Our chief of police was absent and
everybody knew it hence there was a
good time all around. Keep it up boys
the fair will soon close.
Freeland parties held the lucky num
bers on Wednesday, Thursday and Sat
urday evenings, taking all the valuable
articles.
The horse will be chanced off on the
22nd inst. ami parties holding tickets
will please hand them in not later
than the 19th. The fair will be open

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY (I, 1890.
Supervisors Arret*ted.
Joseph Ilutton and Valentine Geng, i
supervisors of Darby Township, near
Media Pa., were on Saturday hound over i
bv Snuire McCormick, to be tried at the ,
March term of court, on the charge of i
failure to keep the roads of their town- j
ship in safe traveling condition. The
prosecutor is Charles Tribit of Darby. |
One day last summer Mr. Tribit was ;
hauling a big load of hay along one of !
the mud streets of Darby, when a wheel 1
of the wagon went into a big hole and
hay, wagon, and all were upset. The '
wagon was broken and two of Mr.
Tribit's sons, who were on the load, were
thrown to the ground. One of the hoys
in falling struck a fence at the side of I
the road and received injuries that con- 1
fined him to his room for several weeks.
Mr. Tribit says the supervisors had j
received notice of the unsafe condition
of the road, but gave it no attention.
He intends to hold them responsible for !
the damage, aqd his reason for not com- i
mencing the suit before was their prom- .
ise that they would make everything
right.
Polish Church Riot.
Another Polish Church riot occurred
at Buffalo, N. Y., on Sunday, in the
vicinity of the St. Adelbert Church, !
which took the full force of 200 police
men to quell. No one was killed but
several policemen were injured by bricks !
and other missiles. The leader of the
rioters, a Polish woman, was badly in
jured. The disturbance is similar to the
one at Plymouth, the cause being the
dislike of Father Pawler, a newly ap
pointed priest.
UPPER LEHIGH.
S. S. Jones was elected president and
William T. Williams secretary of the
Welch Baptist Sunday School on Sunday.
The Good Templars of this place are
steadily increasing. Eleven
joined on Sunday.
People should keep their eyes on the
number of tramps that are loafing around
here. They go about begging in the
day.
The delegate elections of both political
parties will be held in the Foster town
ship school house on Saturday after
noon.
Upper Lehigh has two women who
mistake their calling and we have no
doubt could earn good wages as reporters
for the Associated Press. These two
women make it a point to go from house
to house each morning after their hus
bands go to work and gather all the
slanderous news they can get and for the
balance of the day they are running
around peddling it. If not soon stopped,
they may find their names in print.

TOIIPH Tombstone.
Crain, the long-legged biped who
wandered into Tom's <>ehiltree's breezy,
tide swept district of Gulf coast Texas,
is a magnificent, good fellow of rare
ability, and Ochiltree's superior as a
wit, and only inferior to Tom in skill
ed avoidance of remotest verisimili
tude.
Crain, when warned that his court
esy in dealing with limber-jawed, red
headed, awfully hepauuehed Tom
might be misconstrued by his pugna
cious audiences, was pleased to say,
when next he discussed Tom's glowing
virtues in Tom's presence, that when
Tom's brief and brilliant career was
ended his tombstone would bear the in
scription:
"Here lies Tom Ochiltree; he never
did anything else."
The fun comes in when we state that
Ochiltree was so delighted with the
cheerful witticism that he wrote and 1
transmitted it at once to the family i
stonecutter in Galveston, and on a great i
white headstone, to stand through all
time, and evoke tears for Tom's un
timely end, is recorded Grain's admir
able epitaph:
"Here lies poor Tom; lie never did
aught else."
And won't it be the proudest and ulti
mate triumph <-f truth when Tom mod
estly and humbly confessing his sins,
asks forgiveness by crawling under
that tombstone! It is a fact that sur
vivors of us. Grain leading the proces
sion, with hearts full of affection and
kindly memories, will scatter roses over
Tom's grave. We would do this the
more feelingly when wo remember
Tom's reverence for paternal virtues
and gray hairs.
Tom's father (it is rather an old story
but befits the place and occasion) hav
ing been Chief Justice when Tom was
twenty, authorized the law student to
announce a partnership between the
father and son. It appeared in the
papers and on a great signboard over
the door: "Tom Ochiltree & Father."

The Newspapers of the United States.
Nine years ago the tenth census in
cluded an enumeration of the news
papers published in all the states ami
territories in 1880. The total number
of periodicals then registered was 11,-
314, of which 971 were published daily.
The enumeration of Rowell's Newspa
per Directory was less complete than
that of Mr. North for the census.
Rowell, in his edition of 1880, gave
9,723 periodicals, and 843 dailies. That
is to say, the figures of the census were
more than 16 per cent, over Rowell's
figures for the total of publications, and
more than 15 per cent, over Rowell for
the number of dailies.
This year Rowell's Directory men
tions not less than 16.319 papers print
ed in the United States, including 1,494
dailies. li the deficiencies of his enu
meration count in the same proportion
as they did in 1880, as compared with
Prof. North's enumeration for the last
census, the number of periodicals issued
in the United States to-day is not far
from 19.000, and the number of daily
newspapers not 1,700 >-jV y.

Fatal (ins Explosion.
I A terrible explosion occurred at the
Nottingham mine, at Plymouth on Sat-
I urday morning by which six men
| were killed and several others injured,
I one so badly that he died soon after,
j The victims are :
JOHN HUMPLREYS,
JOHN CROSSING,
, DAVID J. WILLIAMS,

! EDWARD BARRY,
j POWELL SCHULTZ,
JOSEPH JONES,
! On Friday notices were posted at the
i head of the shaft announcing that the
colliery would resume work on Saturday
| and at the regular time in the morning
| the men gathered around the mine,
i They were greatly disgusted and enrag
i ed, however, when Boss Berkheiser an
; nounced that there would be no work
and that all he wanted was a few men
1 to get up the coal already loaded in the
I mine and two gangs for timbering. The
1 men wore not backward in expressing
their disappointment and this only
! elicited curses and abusiveness, from the
boss, in the following manner; "Go
home youd starving curs. Go home
and starve there. There is no work
i here for you to-day."
j The men selected for timbering and
getting up the coal were placed in charge
of tire boss George Dunstan and set to
I work, one gang in the fifth and the other
in the sixth lifts. Being through with
instructions, as to the manner of stand
ing the timber, to the party in the sixth
i lift about 9 o'clock he was on his way to
j the fifth, when, and by whom, it is
j believed, the gas was ignited. The ex
j plosion that followed was terrific. The
] men were tossed in all directions, cars
j that stood on the track were shaken to
pieces and the timbers were all torn out.
The men in the sixth lift were also
I horribly burned.
j The news spread rapidly through the
town and very soon many bundle's
were gathered around the top. Then
came the cries for help hut the men he- j
ing very much disgusted over the action
of the boss in the morning would not
move. Constant yells for more men
were kept, up until nearly noon when
Morgan \V. Morgan, ex-superintendent
of the Nottingham and so well liked l>v
his fellow-workers appeared on the
scene and went among the men begging i
them to go down and commence the 1
work of rescue. In a short time 100
volunteers were ready and no time was
lost in descending the shaft and getting
to work. A heavy fall of roof rock had
also followed the explosion which took ;
some time to clear away. It was about
10 p. m. before the dead men were all
sent to the surface and that completed
the work.
The once-famous anthracite coal mine ■
|is now almost a total wreck. The men
are very bitter in their denunciation of ;
Berkheiser and claim that he is totally 1
incompetent to handle such a colliery
as the Nottingham. They also say that
the wrecking of the shaft, especially by
this explosion, is due to the incompe
tence and ignorance of the bosses.
The Conspiracy Case.
Peter Wise was held at Greenshurg on ;
Saturday for a hearing in the Callaghan i
conspiracy case before Justice Keener.
Wise's attorney was Hon. James I.
Beacon. Callaghan gave his testimony ;
that Wise had boycotted him through
the Knights of Labor and substantiated
it by his witness, J. A. Wimboth, ex
president of the Miner's Amalgamated
Association. One of Callaghan's princi
pal witnesses, Wolkoski, who is in busi
ness with Callaghan, said he knew
nothing of the alleged boycott. Despite
the fact that Callaghan's evidence did
not show a boycott, Wise was held for
I court in the sum of S3OO. Hon. J. It.
Byrne, of the defendants, who some
weeks ago gave bail for court, went
Wise's bail. It has been ascertained
that Powderly will not push his libel
suit against Callaghan, as he thinks it
unnecessary.

Weekly Coal Report.
There has been much discission re- |
cently of the "demoralized condition" of
the anthracite coal trade, hut that im
portant industry is not demoralized.
That there is comparatively little de- i
mand for the domestic sizes of anthra
cite is true, but the consumption of the j
furnace and steam sizes is very large, i
The mild, open weather of this winter j
season thus far has caused a large dc-;
i crease in the consumption of egg, stove j
and chestnut coal, but, on the other hand, I
the active condition of the iron and other ,
manufacturing businesses has created a J
largely increased demand for lump,
steamboat, broken, pea and buckwheat.
sizes, and to supply these the producing
interests are necessarily forced to make j
the unsaleable sizes of anthracite as well, j
which, of course, have been accumulat- \
ing in stock until recently, when the
cohler weather has made a new demand
for the domestic sizes. The anthracite
producing corporation evidently under
stand each oilier thoroughly, and they
are not crowding the market with any
more coal than is necessary, while many j
of the individual operators are only
: working their mines two or 11 r.*e days a
week when they have a sufficient num
ber of orders for coal on band to warrant
j it. The reports of the condition of the '
anthracite coal trade in the West, par- |
tieularly from Chicago, St. Paul, Diiluth,
i Superior and other distributing | oints, I
are more encouraging than they have f
been for months past, while the Eastern
, markets have become so clamorous fur .
I the steam sizes that pea coal has ad-'
vanced in price to almost as high a j
! figure as chestnut coal.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
I January 25, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 501,929 tons,
compared with 578,292 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
76,3(13 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
wns 1,934,329 tons compared with 2,227,-
(148 tons for the same period last year, a
i decrease of 293,319 tons.— Ledger.
